Texas bill makes STD vaccine voluntary for school girls

Cathie Adams, president of Texas Eagle Forum, applauded the house vote because medical personnel have clearly stated the vaccine should not be mandated.

“It’s too new. It was only approved last June after a four-year study,” Adams says. “It just hasn’t had enough time to prove that it is going be even a preventive for cancer, and certainly, Merck, the manufacturer of the vaccine, does not make that claim either.” spcm.org, March 16, 2007
